People are deliberately ruining the story for others

And you expect it to be split evenly down the middle? Only 10 minutes if you split it to open and cs enforced queues?

Sorry... but that's adorably naive. People don't opt in for long queues if they don't have to, people don't opt for long dungeons if they don't have to. This would have the worst of both worlds, so to speak.

No, I explicitly said that I expect speed runs to remain being the most popular.

You'll still have people who have the time but don't feel it it's worth the reward and people who don't have the time and therefore won't even consider the idea. Even if most people still opt for speed runs, you will surely have a more notable collection of players offering themselves into the longer MSQ Roulette just so they can get "more" from a single run. I hear a lot of people like to watch Netflix while they Tank and PvP so I'm sure that even if it does turn out lop-sided, it will still be in favour of faster runs.

I am specifically talking about the Main Scenario Roulette whose tome bonus can only be accessed once per day. Next to no-one who intends on actively farming tomes by running MSQ dungeons over and over are going to choose the longer option. I was talking about targeting people who only planned on doing the daily roulette - which, I might add, could even include a few hardcore farmers regardless, assuming they weren't rushing and wanted to do anything else during the cutscene phases until they began the speed runs later on in the day.

Despite me always feeling bad for the new players, I don't want the longer runs to become the more popular roulette because I want those who do farm it to suffer as little fallout as possible were such a change to be implemented. The difference is that even if the queues for those pursuing a cutscene-driven version are significantly longer, it's still an option that allows them a better chance to have people joining for the same purposes/expectations than what they currently face at present. If you want to argue in favour of the very redundant option of using the Party Finder so much, then why can't people who actually want speed runs be the ones to set up premade farming parties that way just like they do for every other piece of content in the game? Even if a new player IS made aware that they can't just join Castrum and Prae like every other dungeon prior and expect to be able to view cutscenes just fine, they still face extreme difficulty finding anyone willing to help by setting up a PF. If roulette option for newbies was made more apparent or even prioritised, then experienced players who actually know what they are doing can set up the farming PF runs themselves as they do for pony farms and any other existing example in the game.
